I decide I needed another Hitchhiker in my life. Having knit my first Hitchhiker last year, and having worn it frequently, I decided I needed another for variety sake.
I had hand-dyed sock yarn earlier in the year in a blue speckled green that screamed garter so off I went. Based on my first go round with this pattern I knew one skein was not enough for 42 teeth so I decided early on that I would add something on the end to extend. I debated blues and yellows but the black...ohh the black, it was meant to be. I added the black in a few lines at a time and finished with a wide stripe.
I love it!
I'm over my Hitchhiker itch for this year...maybe another for 2017?
beautiful! That's a smart move- when you make a knit and you get a lot of wear out of it, it's worth knitting another so that you can rotate them. I do this with one of my favourite cowls, which is a lighter spring/summer cowl, and I have it in 3 colours.
